Abstract
We present in situ x-ray scattering measurements of the surface structures of [Formula presented] (001) in equilibrium with PbO vapor. At 875 to 1025 K, a reconstruction having [Formula presented] symmetry is present under most conditions, while a [Formula presented] reconstruction occurs under PbO-poor conditions. The atomic structure of the [Formula presented] phase is found to consist of a single layer of an antiferrodistortive structure with oxygen cages counter-rotated by 10° about the titanium ions.
